Fresh pasta in Austin

[chrisdds98]

Which Austin restaurants serve fresh homemade pasta? It seems like a lot of places just use the dehydrated stuff. Is there much difference in taste between the two?

There is another place in town selling incredible fresh and dried pasta. Gourmet Texas Pasta in Wells Branch. www.GourmetTexasPasta.com Just thought I would mention it.

Asti has some dishes with fresh pasta.

Depending on the application, fresh can make a noticeable difference. Lasagna or many stuffed pastas, for instance. Often less about taste than texture. Though, of course, there are dishes better suited for dry pasta.

Enoteca, and for that matter I'm pretty sure Vespaio. And yes, it really does make a difference, but I definitely don't think it's the end of the world if you don't have fresh pasta.
